Peek-A-Boo, I Love You! – for Babies 0-18 months

You loved your baby from the first moment. We’ll show you new ways to say it in a language your baby understands – through songs, sign language, infant massage, and baby-parent dances.

Your toddler and the train make a natural match – always on the move. And when you both dance and make the featured animal sounds, your toddler develops the multisensory and listening skills necessary for permanent learning. You’ll love knowing that every happy “choo-choo” moment develops rhythm and fine motor coordination.

Celebrate a new party each lesson in this circus and party-inspired camp. Ride a carousel inside the classroom. Play a balancing game and walk on a web of ropes. Learn colors and sing the Spanish song “De Colores.”

A parent or caregiver attends the last 15 minutes of each 60-minute weekly class.

Take an imaginary trip—exploring the exotic cultures of Germany, Japan, Africa, England, and Mexico. Play the native instruments. Drape sheets over cardboard boxes and sing over the German mountain tops. Toss peanuts on the floor and bring good luck to one’s home in this Japanese custom. Send messages in Nigeria with “talking drums.”

A one-room schoolhouse approach to music. With older children ready to show the little ones how it’s done and the younger ones eager to learn, Family Time becomes a multi-layered learning environment. Each week, a Kindermusik Educator will introduce basic musical concepts and then give you the instruments, and the structured free time to put those concepts into play.

Mark you calendars now!!!! We’re going to have a trike-a-thon on Sunday, May 4th to benefit St. Jude’s Hospital.

This is going to be an amazing opportunity for children to have fun and to raise money for a really good cause. There are a couple of reasons that I have decided to sponsor this trike-a-thon through our studio. The first is that I know St. Jude is doing amazing things each and every day to help every sick child that walks through their doors regardless of money and/or insurance. If my family ever needed St. Jude’s expertise, I want to make sure they are there ready to help. The second reason is that my family was challenged at Christmas by my parents. My siblings, I, and our spouses were given a challenge that began with $25. We were asked to match this money and find a way to raise money for a good cause. In June, our family is going to come together and share what we chose to do with our money, and even though we’re told it’s not a contest, you know how siblings are : ) So, Steve and I are on a mission to raise the most money for our charity! And we need your help.

Now, I know some of our kiddos are not riding bikes yet, but have no fear, we have a plan. You can participate by using a wagon or a stroller. Older siblings that aren’t in Kindermusik any more? No problem, we’d love to have them participate! The trike-a-thon will be held at the Olathe Community of Christ Church (our old Kindermusik site).

There will also be incentives for money pledged such as $35 pledges receive a t-shirt.

Please plan now to attend our trike-a-thon and help raise money for such an important cause that any of us could need at any time.

Some of you have been asking if you can purchase Kindermusik t-shirts for your kiddos. And recently, several of you have requested the “No Crying in Kindermusik” shirt I have. Well, I have good news. I have a new shop open where you can purchase a variety of Kindermusik clothing items for your child…and you!

you’ll be directed to a Cafe Press store where you can order. At this point, we have three different designs you can choose from. I hope to be adding more very soon, including some specific to our Musical Footsteps Studio.
